2nd generation bio-fuels

They are those bio-fuels that:
- Use non-conventional raw materials (inedible oilseeds...)
- Are obtained using complex processes
- Have a high capacity to reduce greenhouse gases and are energy saving
Commitment to the future
They are a sustainable and ecological alternative to the current price problems and lack of fossil fuels.
In the European Community, 2010 is the starting point of a policy clearly focused on bio-energy as an alternative to the risks and threats of traditional fuels.
